· Exterior:

Finished in a beautiful 2-Tone Dark Jade Metallic Green & Pastel Sand Cream, the paint is very presentable. There are some minor blemishes on the exterior. Overall, it looks absolutely amazing. If you zoom in on the pictures you can see what the blemishes are. The trim is all in great condition along with the glass and emblems.

· Interior:

The Bronco Ranger XLT interior is in amazing condition for being all original. The seat cover isn’t perfect but its much nicer than someone would expect for a 46 year old truck. All of the lights, gauges, indicators and accessories work as they should. The rear electric window works flawlessly! The doors open and shut like new, the windows go up and down smoothly as they should. The heat and blower work perfectly. The radio is a modern Retro Sound brand (looks original but has the modern Bluetooth capabilities and better sound. Illimitation of the gauges is bright, even the cigar lighter works as it should.

· Mechanical:

The 351 Cleveland fires up quickly, idles nicely and runs strong & cool. As I write this ad, the ambient temperature is 98*. After a 52 mile drive, the Bronco stayed cool and ran well. The C6 shifts nice and firm, the Four Wheel Drive works flawlessly. Power brakes with front disks stop the full size Bronco quickly. The steering and suspension are tight (as tight as they came in 1979). The Bronco just received a fresh tune up, fresh Driven GP-1 oil and wix filter. All fluids have been checked. The drive train is original to the Bronco! Tires are fresh.

· Underside:

Largely original and in good unrestored condition. There are no signs of major rust/rot. There are no apparent leaks.

· Driving Experience:

This is where the real magic happens. It doesn’t matter if you use this as a daily driver or a show truck, as soon as you jump in, the attitude jumps back to 1979. The current noise of today's stressors seem to just disappear. With the combination of power steering and power brakes, along with a 351C, you can enjoy safe and reliable driving. Its easy to drive, keeps up with modern traffic, it’s a real cleansing experience. If you’re having a stressful day or just want to have a great time, jump in and take a ride!
